Stilte, waarde vir geld en gerief uit die boonste rakke.

Die kothuis is 'n gerieflike, ruim drieslaapkamer eenheid ten volle toegerus vir selfsorgverblyf. Gasvrou is professioneel, vriendelik en uiters behulpsaam. In die sitkamer is 'n heerlike kaggel om die koue te verdryf en die elektriese komberse op die beddens sorg vir 'n snoesige nagrus. Omdat daar feitlik geen ligbesoedeling is nie, sal jy op wolklose aande 'n onoortreflike sterre-skouspel kan beleef. As jy stilte en 'n rustige plaasomgewing belangrik ag, dan moet Vorstershoek beslis op jou lys wees. Kan jou inlig oor al die besienswaardighede in die omgewing: bv. Joubert's Pas, die Lady Grey dam, en vir ons die absolute hoogtepunt, 'n besoek aan die kransaasvoël broeikolonie, net enkele kilometers vanaf Vorstershoek-plaas. Maak seker jy sit 'n paar ure opsy om laatmiddag die terugkerende aasvoëls waar te neem. Ons sal baie graag weer by Vorstershoek kothuis wil oorbly.

Quiet, value for money and top notch comfort.

The cottage is a comfortable, spacious three-bedroom unit fully equipped for self-catering accommodation. Hostess is professional, friendly and extremely helpful. In the living room there is a lovely fireplace to drive away the cold and the electric blankets on the beds ensure a cozy night's rest. Because there is virtually no light pollution, you will be able to experience an unsurpassed starry spectacle on cloudless nights. If you value silence and a peaceful farm environment, then Vorstershoek should definitely be on your list. Can inform you about all the attractions in the area: e.g. Joubert's Pass, the Lady Gray dam, and for us the absolute highlight, a visit to the crested vulture breeding colony, just a few kilometers from Vorstershoek farm. Be sure to set aside a few hours to observe the returning vultures in the late afternoon. We would love to stay at Vorstershoek cottage again.

Plaasgasvryheid op sy beste!

Ons het Vorstershoek vreeslik geniet. Dis netjies en die eienaars (en hondjies) is vriendelik. Hulle laat jou toe om die plaas plat te stap en die omgewing is pragtig. Doen jouself 'n guns en bespreek aandete - dis soos vanmelewe se Sondagmiddagete en jy sal jou vingers aflek.

Farm hospitality at its best!

We really enjoyed Vorstershoek. It's neat and the owners (and dogs) are friendly. They allow you to walk the farm flat and the surroundings are beautiful. Do yourself a favor and book dinner - it's like a real life Sunday lunch and you'll lick your fingers.

Warm gasvryheid.

Op 'n koue wintersdag die warm verwelkoming deur die gashere, die gesellige kaggelvuur en elektriese kombers om 'n mens snoesig tuis te laat voel. Ek sal beslis weer op Vorstershoek wil gaan kuier.

Heerlike plaasatmosfeer met pragtige tuin.

As jy van die natuur en stilte hou is Vorstershoek waarna jy soek. Die woonstel is ruim en volledig toegerus. Die toegangspad na die plaas en plaas-afdraai is meer geskik vir bakkies en sport nutsvoetuie.

If you like nature and silence, Vorstershoek is what you are looking for. The apartment is spacious and fully equipped. The access road to the farm and farm turn-off is more suitable for vans and sport utility vehicles.

Vorstershoek is 'n pragtige plaas waar fluks met Merinos geboer word. Gashere gaan uit hul pad om verblyf vir jou aangenaam te maak. Ons het lekker gerus en lekker op die plaaspaaie gestap. Sal hierdie plek vir almal aanbeveel.

Oom Francois en Tannie Ester het ons soos vriende laat voel. Hulle vriendelikheid is ongeëwenaar en dit het gevoel of ons by hulle gaan kuier het. Die plaas is asemrowend mooi met kilometers se veld waarin mens kan gaan stap en piekniek hou. Ons gaan vir seker terug vir meer!

Onverbeterlik! Kan dit 100% aanbeveel - die verblyfplek en die mense!

Dit het baie gereën toe ons daar aangekom het en ons is deur die Vorsters begelei en bygestaan - hulle het vir seker dat ons veilig in daardie paradys van hulle aankom! Alles, regtig alles was perfek! Baie gasvry, behulpsaam (ons was drie middeljarige dames daar) en besonder vriendelik - sal beslis weer gaan en beveel dit sterk aan.

It was raining a lot when we got there and we were escorted and assisted by the Vorsters - they made sure we arrived safely in that paradise of theirs! Everything, really everything was perfect! Very hospitable, helpful (we were three middle aged ladies there) and exceptionally friendly - would definitely go again and highly recommend.

Home away from home, living the life on a well maintained farm with generous hosts.

After a short drive on a dirt road we arrived at the most awesome farm in a picture perfect valley. Clean house with all the amenities to make your stay pleasant. Lots of animals to enjoy, the children loved it. Our host was absolutely stunning and interactive, all our requirements was met without delay. We will definitely be back when the opportunity presents itself.
